Today in Trench 1 Sven had several aims, the first to find the bedrock in the base of the central sondage, and the second to give a date to the fills of the possible castle ditch in the northern half of Trench 1. His team were unable to find the bedrock in the central sondage as work reached the limit of safe working depths, but did find some manmade objects, which help us to show that this is probably part of the castle ditch, in the north section of the castle ditch Sven’s second aim was achieved when a piece of pottery of possibly medieval origin. The focus for tomorrows work in Trench 1 will be to record the foundations of the drum tower.
In Trench 2 work has largely been completed today and the team are eager to begin backfilling of the Trench tomorrow morning!
In Trench 3 the remaining rubble in the east of the Trench was removed at the end of the day to reveal a possible midden! Work tomorrow will focus on recording and sampling this newly discovered deposit, and at some point backfilling!
